go to route 8, go around a little, until you get riolu. Catch Riolu. Walk around for a LONG time. Go to the happiness checker and when you get the message:  "It's extremely friendly towards you. It couldn't possibly love you more. It's a pleasure to see!"

Level up your Riolu ONCE, and on a pokemon that gives Speed EV's.

THIS IS IMPORTANT; DO NOT LEVEL UP YOUR RIOLU UNTIL IT'S HAPPINESS IS MAXED.

Once you level up, your riolu will evolve into Lucario. Ev train your Lucario in Atk and Spd, and then you have an immensely powerful pokemon for adventure! (and maybe even pvp, if you do the EV training).
